Problems running from source code located on a network drive.

In order to facilitate backing up of source code developers are working on that they haven't yet checked in to TFS we have decided to check out source code onto a network drive instead of one's local computer. I mapped the network drive on my machine and downloaded all the source code and then opened up the project from the source located on the network drive.

However my application won't run. I get these errors:

Failed to start monitoring changes to 'Z:\\...'.

If I then run the last successful build I get the following error in the browser:

Server Error in '/' Application.

But I am not changing the webconfig file. The webconfig file that works fine when I run the code contained on my local machine does not work when THE EXACT SAME webconfig file is on the mapped network drive. Why should the location of the file make any difference?

Can I leave the webconfig file on my local drive and have the rest of the code on the mapped drive? How would I make that work?
